Featherweights are Here!

We have a whole collection of these classic machines, dating from the 1930's. These are wonderful lightweight machines, perfect for taking to classes and piecing your quilts. Most have their original cases and accessories. Aside from being so cute, they are little workhorses! They are also an unbeatable price of $499 each. You must come in and take a look and try one out!

New Classes and New Fabric!

You have just got to come in and see all that we have going on lately! We have new fabric arriving almost daily -- Martha has been busy posting pictures of it on our flickr site so take a look! We have just received the last 10 bolts of the new Fairy Frost colors and even more Christmas fabrics.

And just look at this adorable quilt Martha put together from the new Marie Webster fabrics!



Our new class schedule is online and ready for you to download in the sidebar. We have some of our wonderful regular classes such as Machine Quilting and Hand Quilting as well as several new classes. Our new summer classes are promising to be lots of fun and very rewarding, as you will begin and finish a project during the class time. These classes include a patchwork pillow, a-line skirt, tablecloth and napkins, patchwork pocket hostess apron, and a little girl's twirly skirt and embellished top.

Give us a call at 706-937-9142 for more information and to sign up for a class!

Closing for Memorial Day

In celebration of Memorial Day, Sew Bee It will be closed.



We hope you enjoy the day with your family and friends, and remember those who have served and are serving in our Armed Forces.

Celebrating "Cotton Week" at Sew Bee It

Martha found this wonderful vintage sign in the local Cracker Barrel and you know us, we love a good sale! So in the spirit of celebrating "National Cotton Week" here at Sew Bee It, we are having a sale!

Beginning tomorrow, May 16 through Saturday, May 24 we will offer a 15% discount on all batting, fabric (minimum one-yard-cut), and fat quarters!

Come out and celebrate cotton with us!

We also wanted to remind everyone that our classroom is available for use to get together with your friends to sew. It is always inspiring to see what others are doing. Just give us a call to check ahead that there is not a class going on.

Hope to see you this week!

Color Mastery Event was a huge success!

Thanks so much to all of you who came out to Maria Peagler's Color Mastery book signing! What an overwhelming response! We had 71 ladies to attend this fun event. I would say that most, if not all, of us learned something new.



I know I did! Here is the quilt sample I, Susie, made from the first project in Maria's book. It is using an analagous color harmony. Maria explained each of the projects in the book and let us see her samples and then talked about other things such as how to spot the latest color trends, and how to challenge yourself to think beyond what you would typically choose to add variety to our stash and our quilts.

It is always fun to hear from a guest speaker and fellowship with one another over beautiful fabric and delicious sweets! We are looking forward to planning more special events like this one. If you weren't able to attend, take a look at the Color Mastery website and learn more about Maria and her fantastic new quilting book!

Color Mastery Book Tour

We are so excited to announce that Sew Bee It is going to be hosting author of Color Mastery, Maria Peagler, at our shop next Thursday, April 30 at 6:30pm as part of her Georgia Book Tour. Maria will be sharing how you can master the color in your quilts and where to spot the best color trends. Color Mastery takes a unique approach never before seen in a quilting book. Maria has taken artistic principles and coupled them with simple quilts, for gorgeous projects any quilter can make. With Color Mastery, you can take ordinary fabrics already in your stash and turn them into simple quilts with sophisticated color relationships. You will be able to overcome your frustration and fear of color combinations in your quilts. She will also be signing copies of her book for you! We would love for you to call ahead and reserve your copy of Color Mastery so we will have enough on hand.

Take a look at the Color Mastery website and learn more about Maria and her fantastic new quilting book! No matter what your level of quilting experience, this promises to be an event you don't want to miss!

This is a free event! Invite your best quilting friends and let's make it a party!

Upcoming Classes

We have some amazing classes in the works taught by the most amazing teachers! Grael Ruiz will be teaching her paper piecing class using this gorgeous quilt pattern! If you think the photo is beautiful, just wait til you come in to see it hanging in our classroom!



Martha Steele will be teaching her Memory Quilt class again this quarter. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with to put in their quilts. Can you tell who this quilt was made for by looking at the photos in it? We'll give you a hint...she is just as elegant now as she was when these photos were taken!
